20% Percentile

Carson had his official 4-month check-up today.  He is now up to 12 lbs. 3 oz. and is at the 20% in weight with an adjusted age!  His doctor was very impressed with his weight and developmental skills.

May CF Visit

This month's CF clinic visit was awesome.  Carson is now 11 lbs. 14 oz.  The next weight goal for him will be 12 lbs.  We should hopefully hit that next week!  Next week will be a busy one for Carson.  He goes in for his 4 month check-up, which means shots.  He will have a couple of days to recover before heading back up to Omaha to get started on a hypertonic saline trial.

First ER Visit

We took Carson into the ER early Saturday morning.  He was having trouble breathing.  All of his stats were good.  He had one spot on his lungs (which can be typical for a CFer).  They had to diagnose it as something, so they called it bronchitis, although it probably wasn't.  The next two days we went into the pediatrician to  make sure that he was okay and all was good.  We are thinking that it might have been some sticky mucus stuck where we couldn't suck it out.  Carson is quite happy and a healthy 11 pounds!

3 Month Photos

Last night, we took Carson to get his 3-month pictures.  He did an awesome job--lots of smiles!  I'll post the pictures soon on our Flickr page.  Carson is now maxed out for him enzymes and acid reflux medicine.  We go back in in two weeks, so we may have to wait until then to get his meds figured out.  On top of that, his medicine that he is using is no longer being made...ugh.
